<br>Symfony generates a lot of files you need to create your PHP database program. You don't need to write everything, but you do need to know how to use it. Learning it is like learning another programming language. 
<br>
<br>For starters, you need to download the symfony package. Download the sandbox, which is a ready to go program. It runs out of the box. It just doesn't do anything yet. The other thing you can do is to install the "platform". This is like a big program like Apache that you need to install. I prefer the sandbox, even if it's a little bit bigger. This is just my preference because I was lazy starting up. Feel free to make your own choices.
<br>
<br>You can download the sandbox <a href="">here</a> or you can go to www.symfony-project.org. (They probably have a new version already.) 
<br>
<br>You can also download the manual <a href="">here</a> and tutorial <a href="">here</a>. They are also available in www.symfony-project.org. <br>
